Dear Diary,                                                                                                                                1991 

It's my 23rd birthday and I have baked myself a lovely cake. Mother is stopping by later to celebrate with me but I'm afraid my lover will stop by when she's here. If he stops here, and Mother finds him, who knows what she would do. I love him, I do but Mother forbids me to see him. I wish to tell her we'll get married but she would disown me before I could speak a word. I have him unnamed to save him from my Mother's abuse or worse. I hate to go against her but you can't go against what your heart feels and around him, my heart beats and my blood rushes through my veins. His mother loves me, wishes to have me as her daughter in law and promises to fight against my mother's rath. But Mother always wanted the best for me and whatever man she finds, she thinks we'll get married. Do you think I could tell her I could reveal the news to her today? She wouldn't take it greatly but I can't go further keeping it from her. Not her birthday but an unexpected gift from her only daughter would surely be the gift she would never forget.
